About The Step Up Diet

In her book, The Step Up Diet, Dr. Katalenas pens the nutritional advice she has successfully been giving her patients for years.

As a pediatrician for over 25 years, Dr. Katalenas has seen firsthand the rise of obesity among her patients. To fight the epidemic, she created the Step Up model, an easy three-step plan to help transform the whole family’s eating habits.

The goal of the Step Up model is to allow families to change their diet one meal at a time. In the book, Dr. Katalenas focuses on the principals of quality, quantity, and timing to help guide decisions on what to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat a meal.

She has seen with her own patients, that if the entire family sticks to the plan by accomplishing one step at a time, a family will be on the path to a healthy eating routine in less that 8 week.
